Hydrogen 2 / Built for Shopify / Shopify Cart Deployed Worldwide

What are the new Shopify Developer Updates within the Shopify Editions Winter 2023 campaign? One is the extension of Hydrogen, which now runs with the Remix Framework. On the other hand, many innovations in the shopping cart feature and a special program for Shopify app developers. If you want to know more, it’s best to watch the video until the end.

Shopify Developer Updates - Shopify Acquires React Router Company "Remix"

Today’s episode is going to be a little more complex and also a little more special, as we venture into the Developer section of the new Shopify update. A change was announced back in November 2022, when Shopify acquired the open-source web framework Remix. But what exactly is remix? The Remix team is responsible, among other things, for the “React Router” library, which has been downloaded nearly 1 billion times. React Routing comes into play when certain applications are multi-page instead of single-page web applications. Accordingly, routing can be used to assign routes to certain components and thus refer to specific components with the URL. But what exactly does Remix have to do with the new update?

What is Hydrogen 2?

This now forms a great benefit as used framework for Hydrogen 2. Hydrogen 2, on the other hand, offers you the basis for building highly scalable and, above all, customizable storefronts. The whole thing continues to be hosted on the Oxygen tuned server system, which allows the fastest storefronts to be created. And the good thing is that Hydrogen 2 will now be available for even more plans. To be exact, for all plans except Starter. But this is not the only developer change. From now on, functions within Shopify can also be written in JavaScript. And last but not least, the migration of Shopify Cart to edge computing, which will provide faster response times globally.

Shopify Developer Updates - Shopping Cart Updates and "Built for Shopify" Badge

But not only the response time has improved, you can now also expand your shopping cart by means of meta fields. Shopify Functions, on the other hand, gives you the ability to create rules for your shopping cart. This can be e.g. This can be the limitation of certain goods for certain addresses or the restriction to validate the address in advance. And for app developers in particular, it’s about to get even more exciting. Because with the “Built for Shopify” badge, they can now stand out in the Shopify App Store. However, the app should meet the following parameters for this.

Your app should meet these criteria

Security and reliability: Customer data in particular should be handled with care. Performance: Apps should act in accordance with Google Core Web Vitals, i.e. they should not technically throttle the store loading speed. If you don’t know what to do with the Core Web Vitals, our video is linked again in the upper right corner. Usability: The app should comply with Shopify design guidelines. Usefulness: The app should also serve a value-added purpose. This is determined based on installation count and ratings. This means that not everyone can benefit from this premium program, which in turn is beneficial for merchants, who can then rely on the high quality of the apps.
